DPM Tharman sounds like a PM when he categorically states he does not want to be PM

“Well, we all have a sense as to who has the potential to be first among equals and it doesn’t lessen the contributions of the others, by the way. Who thinks lowly of Raja and Dr Goh Keng Swee? They were towering figures but not everyone is suited to be the prime minister. And the whole idea is build a team, build a strong team to take Singapore forward. And I’m confident of the fourth generation. I’ve watched them, I know them well, some of them I’ve known for a long time, like Swee Keat, some others over the last six years. I’ve confidence in them. And some of us in the third generation would be around to support them. Thank you.”
